Forest Fire Season Winding Down

With snow on the ground, it's not too surprising there hasn't been much in the way
of forest fire activity in recent weeks.

Ministry of Natural Resources Spokesperson Deb MacLean says things have been quiet for a while now.

 MacLean says the last fire was in Red Lake, and was put out last Wednesday.

Two prescribed burns in the Sioux Lookout District continue to burn, and are being held at 45 and 15 hectares.
